Thanks mike, and meeting Misha was awesome one of my fav athletes of all time. No I didn't get to see that lift, didn't even know when he was lifting and had to leave.

Thanks brute, and even if I don't win it looks like a lot of fun and a lot different from powerlifting.

It seems lowbackitis is going around these days. I hope some stretching and rolling is helping sort it out. That's what I have been doing and mine is getting better.

Really glad you had a great time at the Arnold. carnivore candy really caught my eye as well . what a great name they came up with

Not to sure about atlas stones, since the heaviest I will get to work with till then is around 100lbs.

If I try stretching it just hurts more, the only time I can really do anything for it is after lifting it allows me to stretch and use a heat pad.

That carnivore candy is so good!

Notes: Back is bothering me a bit so nothing special today, deadlifts felt fine but the lockout was hard on each rep.

I don't know what happened just couldn't clean the axle today, going to take the weight down to about 205 next week and work with a lot of cleans. The pressing felt easy with the regular bar but the clean was still heavy.

Tried 1/4 squats today and loved the way they feel, just scared of that weight falling on me if my rack breaks.

Have two tests Wens so no time to look at everyones log will check out when I can.

Yeah, welcome to our world. You know the one inhabited by anyone over 20. We wheeze and can't understand a random lack of power. It is what it is. Tough when life throws you curve balls. Overcome that, Imp!

My money's on you to do just that.

And I mean that seriously. I'm betting on you in the future. Don't eff it up!

Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!
